A Student Practitioner Clarifies the Truth on a College Campus in China
By a practitioner in Beijing
(Clearwisdom.net) I obtained the Fa on July 20, 2004. That was my last
year in college. The college environment can be both open and isolating. If a
person wants, he can stay in the "ivory tower" for several years
without stepping off campus and live an easy and secluded life, with little
opportunity to hear voices other than the mouthpieces of the wicked CCP. I often
think that, if someone had clarified the facts about Falun Gong to
me earlier, I would not have made the mistake of unknowingly assisting the
evildoers to slander Dafa. So if I do not try my best to clarify the facts of
Dafa now, my classmates and friends will be deceived by the propaganda like I
used to be: they would be opposed to Dafa and be destroyed by the evil. This
sense of mission helped me to get rid of fear. I started to clarify the truth to
all the faculty and students at my college. At the beginning, there were all kinds of pressures. My roommates thought I
had "qigong psychosis," my best friends became alienated from me, and
my boyfriend threatened to end our relationship. I still had lots of human
attachments then. I had so much grief that every day I wanted to cry.
Nevertheless, I did not give up. I thought that if I could change even a few of
their opinions about Dafa, I would not have lived in vain. I made up my mind to
maintain righteous thoughts and righteous actions, so that others would see that
Dafa practitioners are good people who solidly cultivate
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Now, looking backing, I can see that when I
clarified the truth, I had notions of competitiveness, showing off and
attachments to doing things a certain way, which limited the results of my truth
clarification. With more Fa study and cultivation of xinxing, I
gradually learned to look inward in conflicts. With more bad things eliminated
as a result of cultivation, my roommates gradually accepted my doing the Falun
Dafa exercises in the dormitory. They even reminded one another not to disturb
me. Once I handed a card with "Falun Dafa" written on it to a good
friend and she refused it. Later, when I reflected on it, I realized that prior
to handing her the card I was actually thinking, "She's such a stubborn
person she might not accept it." Hadn't my notion strengthened the negative
factors? I eliminated the bad thoughts in my mind with righteous thoughts and
handed it to her the second time. She asked, "Does it work?" I replied
firmly, "As long as you sincerely recite the words on the card, it will
definitely do you good." She gladly accepted the card. Through my truth clarification, my boyfriend's attitude changed. At first he
was irrationally opposed, then he just left me alone. Eventually he could
understand me, and then he began assisting me in truth clarification. I was very
happy to see the people around me awaken to the truth and be offered an
opportunity to be saved. I have experienced more and more of the mighty power of
Dafa and Master's grand mercy. Nonetheless, clarifying the truth just by myself cannot let all the students
and faculty know the truth. Seeing that I am catching up with the requirements
of Fa-rectification, my mother brought me truth clarification materials, about
100 copies each time. Practitioners attending college are usually not local, so
they cannot go home often. If they do not know other local practitioners and
their dorm rooms cannot be used as Falun Dafa materials
distribution/manufacturing sites, obtaining truth clarification materials can be
a problem. I suggest to fellow practitioners to please be aware of this and
think of ways to supply college practitioners with truth clarification
materials. I found it very difficult to distribute materials at first. Once I
distributed materials in a classroom building during the lunch break. Before
afternoon classes started, however, the custodial staff thought that the truth
clarification materials were ordinary advertising flyers and removed them all.
There are always people in dormitory hallways, so it is challenging to leave
truth clarification materials without being noticed. Even after the lights are
out at night in the rooms, there are always students reading outside their rooms
under the hallway lights. For a while I felt it impossible to distribute materials without giving
myself away. Soon I realized that my fear had formed an obstacle in my truth
clarification. The dorms receive lots of advertising flyers daily and yet we
rarely see the distributors. Even if we run into them we usually don't pay them
any attention. What I am doing is offering people salvation. Why can't I do it
in an open and noble way? After I dug out this attachment, the situation was corrected. I distributed
materials whenever I didn't have class. I first send forth righteous thoughts to
cleanse myself, then the surrounding field. I would say to the dorms,
"Sentient beings in the dorms, Dafa comes to save you. Nobody goes in or
out during this period of time!" I also asked Master to strengthen the
righteous field. This way, wherever I went, there was nobody in the hallway.
This was a demonstration of the power of righteous thoughts and the wonders of
Dafa. Once someone in a dorm heard me placing materials and came out to question
me, "What are you distributing? Where are you from?" I calmly replied,
"This is Falun Dafa truth clarification material. Many kind-hearted people
risk their lives to produce and distribute these to your door. Why do we want to
do this? If you read it carefully you will understand. This will do you good
your whole life!" She retuned to her room deep in thought, and I continued
to distribute truth clarification materials. My college has strict dorm regulations. Female students are not allowed to
enter male dormitories. How could I distribute truth clarification materials to
male students? I asked my boyfriend and he said he had never received any Dafa
truth clarification materials in his dorm. He knew that Dafa is great, yet I
could not ask a non-practitioner to do things that practitioners are supposed to
do. After thinking it over, I decided to give it a try myself. I said to Master in my heart, "Your disciple wants to offer salvation to
male students, too. As a Dafa disciple, I do not acknowledge the old forces'
arrangements. Master, please help me to offer salvation to those whose minds
have been poisoned by the CCP propaganda." After sending forth righteous
thoughts, I took dozens of truth clarification materials and openly entered the
male dormitory. I thought that I'd clarify the facts if someone stopped me. The
building supervisor took one look at me and did not say a word. Several male
students walked past me in the hallway, as if they had not seen me. I posted the
materials on every door with a calm mind. Suddenly a male classmate saw me and I
became nervous. I then immediately realized that this should not be the thought
of a Dafa disciple and was able to eliminate it. It turned out that my male
classmate just said hi and left, as if meeting me on campus. I then had a deep realization: with Dafa disciples' righteous thoughts and
righteous actions, the old forces' arrangements are nothing and have no effect.
The divine power Master endowed to Dafa disciples can act on different
dimensions and can be used at will in our anti-persecution efforts and offering
sentient beings salvation. I safely finished distributing all the materials like that. Nobody noticed a
girl was in the male dorm. My classmate who said hi to me did not mention to
anyone later on that I had been to the male dorms. When I was about to leave I heard a male student say excitedly, "Look,
their room has the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Let's not
tell them it's theirs and let's read it first!" How eager beings are, waiting to know the truth and be offered salvation! As
Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples we should not be fettered by everyday
people's restrictions. Let's get rid of all of human notions and try our best to
offer people salvation! |
